A major league centerfielder settles under a batted fly ball. He looks like he's about to make the routine catch when suddenly he takes off his hat and makes a fantastic basket catch with it. The ball stays in the hat and the fans go wild.
What's the ruling? Answers in white I guess. |

Same as if he caught it with his hand, I would imagine....the batter would be out.

[/ QUOTE ] That's what I gather, but I know if it is caught with the hand, or another part of the body besides the glove, it is an out, so it will be interesting to hear why, if any, exception exists for the hat. |

<font color="white"> the player then reaches into the hat, takes the ball out with his hand, and displays it to the umpire. the umpire signals an out. at that point the runners must tag. </font>

<font color="white"> I'm going with live ball.
If two fielders crashed into each other and the ball came to rest on one of them, the ball is still in play. With that in mind, I'm thinking the ball has to be in the hand or glove to be ruled an out. Once fielder grabs the ball out of his hat, the batter would be ruled out. This is a complete guess</font> |
